Chapter 651

Eugene paused, “Did Samantha tell you that I’m here?”

Christina put down her teacup and mocked him.” Samantha has protected your other woman Katrina for
so long, yet you suspect her?”

Eugene was quiet

Christina stood up. “Samantha is a decent woman. Leaving you wasn’t a loss for her but for you. You’ll
regret this one day, and Yael and I will not help you anymore.”

They walked out of the room next door. Ryleigh wanted to see her aunt and get some news but was
probably there for the gossip. Maisie and Barbara stopped in the hallway, and after Ryleigh left, she
slowly spoke. “Were you the one who snitched him to Mrs. Boucher?” “Yes,” Barbara admitted. Maisie
was a little surprised, “How did you find out such private news of the Bouchers?” Even the media didn’t
know that Eugene was cheating, but she knew. She was even the one who had told them that Mrs.
Boucher was here. Barbara flipped her hair and smiled at her. “I know Katrina.”

Maisie was shocked.

Barbara leaned against the pillar, looking stoic. “We had a past, and I’m not afraid to tell you. She’s my
father’s illegitimate daughter, a half-sister who’s four years older than me.”

Maisie didn’t speak but was surprised that Barbara would tell something so private to a person she
wasn’t close to.

“In the three years that you weren’t here, Ryleigh told me a lot about you.” Barbara looked down, her
calm face hiding some emotions.” She said that we had a similar past.”



Maisie’s eyes darted.

Barbara turned to look at the people who were still in the venue. “We both have a cruel sister who tried to
frame us, but you were a lot luckier than I am.”





Maisie walked to her. “She’s a Zalensky, but you’re a Chase.”

Barbara turned to look at her, maintaining her cool and logic. “My father didn’t marry her mother. He
chose to come back to our family and spoiled me rotten to make up for what he did all those years ago.
He would give me anything I wanted, but it could never make up for what I’ve lost.

“You’re luckier because you met a man like Mr. Goldman, but I didn’t. Everything that happened to me
was because of Katrina.”

Maisie returned to the Goldmann mansion in the evening. Alfred walked over to welcome her. “Would
you like to have dinner, Madam?” Maisie wasn’t hungry, so she shook her head. “There’s no need for
that.” She went upstairs, still shocked by what Barbara had said. Barbara’s experience nine years ago
was really similar to hers, but she was right, she was luckier because she had met Nolan.

Barbara wasn’t as lucky. She had just been around 17 or 18. Those years when life should have been
wonderful were instead a dark time in her memories.

Barbara hadn’t lost her virginity, but she killed someone while defending herself. It had been selfdefense,
and she was released because she was not guilty. However, the rumors stabbed her like a knife.

In the eyes of outsiders, she was a filthy girl who had seduced a man and even killed him.



She hadn’t been sent to prison because she had good backing-the rumors were even worse than losing
her innocence because that was something that could destroy someone’s reputation. Her father could
suppress the rumors, but she was advised to leave school. Her father had helped her change her name
and sent her to study overseas out of guilt.
